Basic concepts of leveling a bow sight for competitive archery or bowhunting. Also discusses importance of cam timing when shooting uphill and downhill with uneven footing and terrain
Nice short vid to highlight the importance of proper alignment of the sight for Al the axis. Can you also share a how-to vid on the actual adjustments to make on the sight, what tools and methods?
what I've been unsure about is if setting 1st axis to the string is really the right thing. At rest the string is in a stable static position that it'll never be in during a shot. At full draw depending on your limb/cam lean, the string could be 3 mm one way at the bottom and 2 mm at the top ie off to one side and maybe slightly angled. The only thing common to the bow at brace and at full draw at all shooting angles is the riser. Is the riser not the best reference to go by? I'd love to hear your thoughts on that because i'm probably missing something. Also, you know how commonly the sight pins often end up outside of the string when viewed from behind, or maybe you've moved centre shot left to cure a stubborn right tear so your housing also ends up out there slightly. in those situations the sight is looking straight forward but you are looking across it slightly. Does that not mean your effective/dynamic third axis is going to be off?
1st, 2nd and 3rd axis - all great explanations! Thanks for putting the video together

Right on Ryan! Thats funny cause I'm right in the middle of shooting in my 3rd axis after using Hamkea 3rd Axis tool.
Unfortunately i had this issue at london, chalk it up for experience and move on.

I shot Gasper as well and discovered the same issue with my sight. See you at London.
